Exkurs 3D configurator: Experienced developer Erik Buck, author of "Cocao Design Patterns and the upcoming Learning OpenGL ES for iOS: A Hands-on Guide to Modern 3D Graphics Programming", spoke to InformIT senior editor Dustin Sullivan and explained how Apple`s GLKit can help them design their iOS code for optimal graphics performance with minimal effort [...]
In the following article we would like to introduce you to the basic concepts of OpenGL (important for 3D configurators). The answers to the following questions will be the focus of this article: Why/When should use OpenGL? How should you configure an iOS application to use the OpenGL technology together with GLKit. [...]
A 3D configurator ist not an unnecessary toy, but an online tool that exactly meets the spirit of the times. Everyone is networked, surfing around the clock and new customers can be reached throughout Germany. Share, liken, online shoppen is part of your customers everyday life. Naturally [...]
When it comes to developing games for mobile devices, graphics APIs (important in 3D configurators projects) like OpenGL and Apple`s Metal have become the gold standard. These APIs connect the hardware of mobile devices such as GPUs to the software and enable resource-intensive graphics playback to bring complex games and animations to life. [...]
Amazon, market leader in online retailing, now offers sellers of customizable items like 3D configurators support under the keyword „Amazon Custom“ to present thes products more simply and customer-friendly. Individually manufactures and adapted products have been available in Amazon`s onlineshop for some time. Until now, however, the [...]
In the following article we will introduce two new products (well-suited to use in 3D configurator process) to accelerate the development of Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) on Android. ViroCore - a SceneKit equivalent for Android that enables native AR/VR development with Java. ViroReact - adds ARCore support for ViroReact. Developers can now build [...]
Many companies completely dispense with the use of an onlineshop. The most common reason for this is the specialisation in only one product. In such cases, programming an onlineshop is not worthwhile. Nevertheless, the integration of a 3D configurator is possible without any problems. This article will tell you how to do this. [...]
SpriteKit is, at least for me, one of the most remarkable libraries in Cocoa (very useful in 3D configurator processes). It makes the 2D feeling easy and often delivers very good results with little effort. In this article we will break down the components of SpriteKit and give you a short introduction. [...]
Mult-user experiences on the internet (like 3D configurators) are well advanced since the rapid spread of online chats and social networks. Advances in Virtual Reality (VR) make the Web an immersive and interactive environment. Neal Stephenson imagined this group of shared, persistent and interconnected 3D virtual spaces and called them the metaverse - today [...]
3D Modelling Software is numerous, and each sector, each project, needs specific modelling tools (the right choice of 3D modeling software in 3D configurator projects is very important). In this article, we will help you choose software for your automobile projects. Indeed, the automotive sector benefits more and more from 3D printing, but to [...]
